Aradia's new EP Possibilities: Light includes six compelling tunes (plus a dance remix of the super-poppy '80s throwback "Today") that are the optimistic opposite of the dark and pensive tunes on her 2012 EP Possibilities: Dark. Both are perfect showcases for a unique sound that blends rock, pop, trip-hop and electronica that has been likened to an otherworldly mix of Donna Summer, Trent Reznor, David Bowie and George Harrison.

Possibilities: Light emerged from essentially the same period of composing but has a decidedly more fun-filled spirit about it - a reflection of the life she has now brimming with creativity, a strong social support system and great hope.

Long before tapping into her music talents, Aradia was a proud, self-confessed "biggest nerd ever." Growing up in and around New York City, she was a "mathlete." She joined Young Astronauts. Her personal reading list included Charles Dickens, Ray Bradbury and Greek and Roman mythology. She was a classically trained pianist who enrolled in the Aaron Copland School of Music at Queens College.

Perfectly in line with all that, she's a hard core, "live long and prosper" Trekkie, gobbling up Captains Kirk (original series) and Picard (The Next Generation) and the recent Star Trek movies.

The Sci-Fi fashionista has performed (with a new band featuring a keyboardist who runs samples) at such popular venues as Nectar Lounge, The Rendezvous and an art gallery club called Sole Repair .
